LibriVox recording of Lady Molly of Scotland Yard by Baroness Orczy.
Read by J. M. Smallheer
Lady Molly of Scotland Yard is a collection of short stories about Molly Robertson-Kirk, an early fictional female detective. It was written by Baroness Orczy, who is best known as the creator of The Scarlet Pimpernel, but who also invented two immortal turn-of-the-century detectives in The Old Man in the Corner and Lady Molly of Scotland Yard. First published in 1910, Orczy’s female detective was the precursor of the lay sleuth who relies on brains rather than brawn. The book soon became very popular, with three editions appearing in the first year. As well as being one of the first novels to feature a female detective as the main character, Orczy’s outstandingly successful police officer preceded her real life female counterparts by a decade.(Introduction from wikipedia)

I certainly agree with one passage in the book, which I will quote with, I believe, but one word changed: "...a true-hearted American woman is the finest product of God's earth, after all is said and done." In this I am an expert as the father of four beautiful, kind and loving daughters.
I thought the reader did an excellent job in bringing this book to all of us and giving us the gift of her gift. I am a staunch admirer of female heroines and Lady Molly one one of my
favorites. But this is a book which is so well written and read that I believe anyone would enjoy it. God bless Librivox and American women!!!

The puzzles work, and the read is excellent: its quite clear which character is Molly and which is her sidekick Mary, for example, which is harder to do that it initially appears in single reader books.
The original author likes putting in a dig at the expense of the other, doesn't she? Jews, middle class people, Scots, the vapid working class...a book for English gels, what?

I second (or third) the previous reviews. Jo is also one of my favorite readers. While I didn't need the voices so much in this book to keep the characters straight, Jo adds so much color and fun to the story by giving us a vocal personality for each character.
The stories were well written and the ending was well done for a series of discrete mystery stories.

J. M. Smallheer is a particular favorite of mine and she narrates these stories with her usual flair. She does some accents that are always cute and she brings Miss Molly and really her maid Mary to life. The stories about lady Molly are fun and entertaining. The ending was well done as often I find short stories within a main story can be hard to follow. This ending tied things up quite neatly. Enjoy!
